nI've recently received several emails again about sending their pets by plane. As I've always written, Delta was the most responsive of all the carriers we checked into for shipping our pets to Argentina. Because their links are sometimes a bit buried I wanted to list them in an accessible place. Remember that you can book well in advance with them and reserve space for your pets at the same time. In cabin is 2 pets per regular class, 1 per busines, and 1 per first. Checked you have to talk to them. You can only bring one pet per person into the cabin.
I'm also giving some links for people who need to send their pet dog or cat back to the U.S. from Argentina. For this I recommend using the services of someone in Argentina to help you do the paperwork required by SENASA, unless you are thoroughly comfortable with dealing with Argentine beuracracy. It's pretty much the same things you would need for coming to Argentina, except you won't need to pay an import tariff for your pets.
by the way, if you're coming into the country - DO NOT throw away all of your paperwork. Always keep a copy of it for your records.
I think that for foreigners and local people taking pets out of the country is more than embarrassing. They try to cheat on you more than once. Get to unexpected, absolutely unnecessary delays.
My solution was getting to Jim Anderson, Canadian living in Argentina for 5 years. He has helped me to take my dogs in and out of the country each time I need to get to Atlanta and come back and took care of my pets during my vacations also. He has a beautiful, clean house ih Martinez where you feel your pet is going to be at home.
The other great job he did for me was teaching my eight years old daughter how to deal with animals without turning the house upside down, keeping the dogs relaxed and leaving them a space to rest. Showed her how to respect them, something in Argentina not many people consider important. If you need to contact him, you can go into www.petsventura.com . I can recommend his services. What surprised me more from him was that none of my pets wanted to come home with me. I can find no better judges than them to evaluate his work.

What a move! Such important information! I think Delta will be the way we go when we finally go overseas!
